Re: What's required for ISU to participate in this kind of money?

Gotta agree with others. 1) Our tickets are already crazy cheap, and 2) tickets will NEVER get cheaper. We could sign a $100 mil agreement with Nike and our ticket prices will probably go up, most likely because we would have just won a national championship or something that would make someone care enough to pay that kind of money.

Re: What's required for ISU to participate in this kind of money?

I would think the only chance we could have to sign a big contract like that will depend on Fred taking us to the promise land. Football wise, I don't think we will ever attain the high profile enough to warrant this. Fred is a high profile coach right now with everybody watching. That is what the shoe/uniform companies want. If he can put dollars in their pocket, they will come.

Ticket Prices will Go Down When Pigs Fly

ISU ticket prices are already some of the lowest in the big 12. I would not be surprised if upper deck corner season tickets for hoops don' t go up by $25-50 this season. If we would get a shoe contract windfall like Louisville, I would hope the funds would go toward capital improvements to Hilton. Concourse improvements and possibly suites are long overdue.
